Non-radial flow of an incompressible fluid of second grade in a contracting channel. (English) Zbl 0823.76002

Summary: The steady non-radial flow of an incompressible fluid of second grade in a contracting channel is studied. The dependence of the flow on the material parameters of the fluid and on the channel angle is investigated. A similarity transformation is introduced for the streamfunction which reduces the P.D.E. to a sequence of O.D.E.s. A series solution is employed to solve the problem.
